Post cards, quilts, paintings, cast-iron toys, sock monkeys and lots more hobbies were displayed and shared by 25 Maple Crest elders during its July 23 biennial hobby show.
New to this year’s show were “works in progress” by three residents – Genevieve Fast knitted a scarf, Joanne Niswander took stitches in her latest needlepoint piece, and Carl Wolf demonstrated the art of coloring a mandala.
Evelyn Luginbuhl, Gregg Luginbuhl and Tim Byers have a laugh with John Murray at the Maple Crest elders hobby show. Murray showed his collection of Bluffton photos. One of the photos included Murray as Santa Claus with a very young Gregg Luginbuhl on his lap.
